Abstract
In one illustrative example, a router node is configured for use in a network having a plurality of interconnected router nodes for routing packets according to segment routing (SR). Router nodes of a first network slice are configured to establish routes based on first path determination criteria associated with a first identifier, and router nodes of a second network slice are configured to establish routes based on second path determination criteria associated with a second identifier. Each router node in the first network slice may operate as a unit under test (UUT) and validate isolation from network resources in the second network slice. An operator of the network may be alerted when an isolation failure is detected.
